Most importantly, please give your daughter a hug of understanding which I have just sent you. Seemingly the lack of understanding and correlation between the multitude and diverse set of symptoms. Us, long, haulers experience, leaves the medical community at a virtual stalemate. You are absolutely not going out on a tangent, and we all need to be our own advocates at this point. The reality is that if Covid is not going anywhere, we are likely looking at a life of long haulers for a minimum of a couple of generations. We must not allow medical gaslighting, or lack of advances, deter us from having a voice. Everything you have mentioned is something I am going through, and it is very real, and it must be addressed through specialized teams that can collectively understand how and why our bodies are being attacked through our respiratory system, G.I. tracks, impacting our organs, brains, and skeletal structures. There are a lot of moving parts with this beast. As ordinary citizens, we are at the mercy of the medical system, but we can support and understand each other the way nobody else can. It’s almost a form of grieving that is not understood by anyone who has never lost a loved one. Presumably, none of us really know each other, but I can assure you we are all very much connected by this existential crisis. We must join together, even if just in our thoughts and prayers. Hope is only lost if we let it slip away.
